Bempton Cliffs and Flamborough

First pictures are beautiful Gannets and a Kittiwake flying over one of the Gannet colonies, then a Puffin, then a couple of Razorbills, then away from the cliffs, a singing Whitethroat.

I can also heartily recommend the North Star Hotel at North Landing Flamborough, 2 star, very comfortable, friendly and good food, if you're a big eater, you'll love it. it's within a couple of hundred yards from the cliffs and you can start your cliff walks there.

What clinched it was the bobbing action of the rear, mentioned in the description on my Birds of the Western Paliarctic program, obviously the photos don't show this, but was very distinctive, what led me down the plover route was its size compared to the Greenshank.
